The Irrenressib1e Office Boy

When the telephone was introduced
into the offices of Christendom a great
many men sent away their office boys and
fancied that they could get on without
them. But the Office boys came back.
Like truth crushed to earth they rose
again and asserted their Indispensable
value. The office boy knows that he is
an autocrat, and while he may never pre-
sumo upon his position outwardly, he
carries the signs of authority and Of
power around with him. He is tardy,
he is lazy, he is fOrgetful, but he looks
calmly into the eyes of his reprovtng en-
ployer without finching. He will stay
forty-five minutes on a ten minutes
errand and bob up serenely without
thought of an apology. If on his return
his superior officer plucks up courage to
inquire if he has had pleasant vacation,
he will stare and reply, What, sir?'
with a well cultivated stupidity. If an
Office boy could be patented who would
be warranted to take in, or at least smile
at, all of his masters jokes, this world of
toll and trouble would be a SUMMER spot

Parrots in Need of Reformation.

Speaking Of reforming bad animals, y
said Mr.. Burns, 4 am now trying to i'm
prove the morals of a bad parrot. | saw
in the paper that Il man is advertising for
a swearing parrot, one that can curse up
hill and down dale in several languages
preferred, but he will do if he is really tai
ented at English swearing. That is a
most uncommon advertisement. The
worst trouble with parrots is that sailors
teach them to swear, and then people do
not want them. They are hard to sell. /
suppose the person who put that adVer-
tisement in the paper wanted the bird Tor
a bar room or some other resort where
cursing is cOngenial and amusing Well,
this bird which was sent TO me to-day
would suit that person, / am sure. Such
q sWearer / never heard. 1t rips out
string after string of the most appalling
oaths-English, Spanish, French, but
principally plain sulphurOus Saxon. II
was sent to me from Brooklyn to be broken
of the habit. The people couldn't have il
in the house, and they did not like to part
with it, il is such a smart bird There Is
only one way to break them of swearing,
and that is by keeping them covered Up
and in the dark until they forget every
thing they know. Then you have to begiL
afresh and give them their education all
over agatha good moral education. You
can cure them this way / have cured
many by that plan. Parrots forget read
lily if treated to solitude and darkness.
This particular parrot had been the prop
erty for long time of a sailor, and had
made several voyages with him. The
man who wants n swearing parrot can be
accommodated if he searches the fOrecas
ties of ships coming from the tropics. -

Railroads in War.

The first thing for a boy or girl to re
member in considering war is that sol
diers must eat 1t is generally supposed
that the most important duty of a soldier
is to fight; but this is mistake. He
must eat before he can fight, and more
battles have been lost because COmman-
ders could not feed their armies than be-
cause they could not fight the enemy.
The control of the railroads is the object
of every great campaign in modern war.
Whoever holds the railroads can move
troops and ammunition and food to the
important point more quickly than the
enemy. And everything depends upon
being stronger than your enemy at the
important point. One man is nearly as
good as another man, at least on the
average Ten thousand men of one nation
are nearly sure to be worth 10000 of an
other; and certainly in the great American
war, where all the men were of the same
nation, there was little difference in the
fighting quality of the opposing forces.
One side had more dash, the other more
endurance; one perhaps went into battle
more furiOusly, the other / should say
held out more stubbornly; but in the end
the men on one side were about as good
for fighting purposes as those on the
other. Whoever had most men, there
fore, was most likely to win. But they
must be equipped and fed. To have more
men than you can feed is worse than not
having euOugh.-St. Nicholas.

gust he was tranferred to the Army of Tennessee,
and placed in command of the Second Division
of the Fifteenth Army Corps. His division took
part in the Georgia campaign, and was engaged
with the enemy at the 0conee river,
and again at Cannouchee river. In De-
cember, after the arrival of General Sher-
man before Savannah, it became neces-
sary for him TO open communication
in some way with the sea. in order TO obtain
much-needed supplies. For the accomplish
ment of this purpose General Hazen's division
was sent on the 18th of that month to capture
Fort McAllister, which commanded the river
inlet through which General Sherman hoped to
get supplies. Nine regiments under General
Hazen's command advanced to a charge,
stormed the fort in less than five
minutes, and captured twenty-four pieces
and the entire garrison, thus opening
the way to the sea. General HaZen
was appointed and confirmed Major-General, TO
date from the capture of Fort McAllister, and
ON the 10th of May, 1865, was appointed by the
President to command the Fifteenth Army
Corps. On account of long-continued service of
the highest character, and for special gallantry,
he was commissioned Colonel of the Thirty
eighth Regular Infantry, and aiterward, and
during the Russo-Turkish war, in 1867, he was
United States Military Attache at Vienna On
the 18th of December, 1885, he was appointed
Chief Signal Officer, with the rank of Brigadier-
General, aud that position he continued TO hold
uutil his death.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
Measures that are Likely to Come Be
fore Congress This Week.

fore Congress This Week.
WASHINGTON, January 16th.-The Senate
bill providing tor the creation of agricult-
ural experimental stations and the bill
prohibiting members of Congress from act
ing as railroad attorneys are expected to
consume the most of the time of the Senate
not devoted to appropriation bills and to
secret sessions during the coming week.
The army and pension appropriation bills
are Oh the calendar ready for the consider
alton of the Senate, and the sundry civil
bill is expected to be brought out of COM
mittee in season for action before the end
of the week. The executive calendar OF
nominations reported from the committee
is said to be a long one, but it is thought
that few of the cases will provoke discus
sion. The conference report upon the
electoral count bill, which is likely to be
brought up for action on Monday or Tues
day, will probably not consume much
time.
The first business before the House to-
morrow will be Mr.. Townshend's motion to
pass the bill to limit the jurisdiction Of
United States Courts in patent cases, and
protect innocent purchasers of patents
which was under discussion when the
House adjourned last Chairman Malone
on behalf of the Invalid Pension Commit
tee, will move to suspend the rules and
pass the bill for the relief of dependent
parents and of honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors who are now disabled
and dependent. If opportunity offers to-
morrow, Mr.. Eldridge will also request the
House, under suspension of the rules, to
pass the Mexican pension bill. In the
morning hour on Tuesday the Committee
on Pacific Railroads intends to call up for
action the resolution providing for an in
vestigation of the books Of the Pacific rail
road companies. 1t is probable the House
will also be asked to act upon the confer
ence report of the interstate commerce bill
on the same day. When these matters are
disposed of there will be a struggle for the
floor between the River and Harbor Com
rnittee, with its appropriation bills; the
Agriculture Committee, seeking consider
alton for the pleuro-pneumonia bill; the
Naval Committee, which will press the bill
for the reorganization of the Naval Bureau
and the Pacific Railroad Committee, in
charge of the funding bill. The Postoffice
appropriation bill will be reported to tn?
House early in the week, and may be
placed in antagonism with the measures
already referred TO.

What the Chinese Minister Says.
New York, January 17th-A. M-The
Chinese Minister says his Government has
come to recognize the iact that his country
men will never adapt themselves to this
country, ard will never assimilate with
Americans. Such being the case, nothing
but harm to both countries can result from
their constant influx here, and the treaty
is made on the part of China with
the utmost cheerfulness Curiosity is
expressed among the Pacific slope people
here as to whether the treaty has so been
intelligently drawn as TO meet the ready
evasion which the Chinese have invented
for the provisions Of the present law, in
clnding the trade in certificates, which
numbers of Cinnamon are carving on be-
tween San Francisco and China by means
of perjury and the use of habeas corpus

The fire is presumed to have started from
stove near the head of the shaft. The
flames were seen for many miles up and

gathered to witness it. The building was
fitted with costly machinery, and the loss
will be 100000. About 500 men and boys
are thrown out of employment by the fire
Three Persons Burned to Death.
ST. PAUL (Minn.) January 17th-A. M
A fire broke out in the Arlington House,
at New Westminster, g. c., yesterday
morning at o'clock. The structure being
of wood, it was soon one mass of flames,
and three guests, unable to escape, were
burned to death. The names of the victims
were: Thomas Mackoy, contractor of the
Frazer River Lighthouse; George Camp
bell, of Sherbrooke, Quebec, and Rufus
Brown, fence builder.
